Police Training Academy

"Police Training Academy earns a Mixed Reviews BrickScore of 73.2 because critics disagree on whether the strong play mechanics justify the plain aesthetics and $100 price, but 661 owner ratings averaging 4.79 out of 5 with 98% recommending it make clear that families and kids find it a genuine hit."

The Police Training Academy lands a BrickScore of 73.2, putting it squarely in Mixed Reviews territory, and expert opinion splits noticeably: JANG found it packed with play value and praised its modularity, while the Rebrickable reviewer considered it underdetailed and compared it unfavorably to Friends sets. That divide is sharpened by a striking owner-versus-critic gap: 661 buyer ratings average 4.79 out of 5, 98% would recommend it, and the LEGO platform's play experience signal reaches 4.87, all well above what the expert score suggests. Children and family buyers are clearly delighted; dedicated adult reviewers see a set that does not fully live up to its $99.99 price.

Where they split: JANG rated the set 78 and recommended buying it, emphasizing the depth of play and quality modularity. The Rebrickable reviewer gave it a 55 and recommended waiting, finding it visually empty and underachieving compared to Friends sets at a similar price. Owner buyers side firmly with JANG's more positive view, rating play experience at 4.87 out of 5.
